ChallengeMember's Journal, 12 March 2010

There are so many things that I thought I'd never think or say but I AM thinking and saying them now that I'm making sustained positive changes in my life...

Among them is what I'm about to say now: I actually prefer NOT to go to a restaurant these days. I don't like not being in control of what I'm going to eat. I know you can give special instructions or just get the chicken breast on lettuce but it just always seems that a) there's hidden ingredients here and there and b) SOMETIMES at the last minute, you change your mind to something that isn't the best option. I was going to order the salad/chicken combo tonight but then I saw a turkey burger on the menu and thought "Oh a turkey burger...that has to be okay" but when I started eating it, I remembered that not all turkey is created equal. I may have done better than eating a meat burger, but my feeling is that it probably wasn't much better. And I think they put butter on the bread...I forgot to ask. I guess it's just better to stick with the salad and chicken breast. :) I know I sound a little obsessive...it's just that I've been so in control lately that I don't like the feeling of being out of control of what I'm eating. (Another thing I didn't think I'd be saying--being out of control has been very common for me until recently.)

Anyway...my restaurant meal didn't do permanent damage, I know...but I need to think about tonight the next time I go to a restuarant so I just stick with what I know.
